- Reading
- You could read a few diary entries at a time, pausing to notice when the focus moves between household responsibilities and events in the village.
- Themes
- A child’s diary amid village upheaval: Deliverance’s diary follows her care for her sister and her experience of the accusations and trials unfolding in Salem Village. The diary framing places a young person’s household concerns alongside events affecting the wider community.
- Worth knowing
- The story includes fear of a cruel uncle’s temper, a sickly sister, and accusations that lead into witchcraft trials; these elements may prompt questions about family hardship and community turmoil.
